When full the gas tank of a car holds 15 gallons.now contains 12 gallons. what percent represents how full the tank is?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>A tank can hold 15 gallons to be considered as full tank. Currently, the tank has 12 gallons on it. Find the percentage of its current gas.
Let x be the value of the percentage that we are looking:
=> 12 = x * 15
=> 12 = 15x
Now, let’s divide both sides with 15.
=> 12 /15 = 15x / 15
=> 0.8 = x
Now, we have the decimal value of our percentage, let’s convert it to percentage
=> 0.8/100
=> 80%, thus x = 80%

In each part that follows, you are given an equation of a line and a point. Find the equation of the line through the given poi

Semmy [17]

Answer:

a) $y=-\frac{1}{9}x$

b) $y-2=-\frac{1}{3} (x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a line in 3 different forms including slope intercept, point-slope, and standard depending on the information we have. We have a point given and a slope from the equation. We will chose point-slope since we have a point and can find the slope.

Point slope: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

a) $m\neq 9$ in our new equation because it is perpendicular to it. This means we will need to change it into its negative reciprocal which is $m=-\frac{1}{9}$ .

We will substitute $m=-\frac{1}{9}$ and $x_1=0\\y_1=0$ .

$y-0=-\frac{1}{9} (x-0)$

This simplifies to:

$y=-\frac{1}{9}x$

b) The equation y=3x+4 follows y=mx+b. For the perpendicular line, $m\neq 3$ . We will need to change it into its negative reciprocal which is $m=-\frac{1}{3}$ .

We will substitute $m=-\frac{1}{3}$ and $x_1=1\\y_1=2$ .

$y-2=-\frac{1}{3} (x-1)$
